Dart 3 SL coil - 80/100 travel alteration?

I've just upgraded the Dart 3 SL coil forks on my son's 2010 Rockhopper SL, so I now have these forks spare. They have an 80mm spring as they came from an XS bike. Is it possible to change the travel to 100mm with a new spring and some sort of spacer adjustment, or is that not possible with a coil fork like this? I was thinking of passing these on to a friend, but he will need 100mm.

Have to open them up I am afraid and look at the internals. may be a simple spacer swap, or it might need an expensive new pushrod and spring assembly. Spesh OE forks can be rather odd!0

OK, will do... if I remember they look like a 28mm version of my old Toras inside.Vitus Sentier VR+ (2018) GT Grade AL 105 (2016)
